Asio accipitrinus.
1890,
October 8.
Lake Umbagog.
Moose Point.
As it was getting dark a Short-eared Owl suddenly glided
past me within a few feet turning out over the lake, then back
over the beach where I shot it. It flew like a great moth and
fell broken-winged, clicking its bill and making a snoring sound
when I picked it up.
